“What’s he doing there?” added the announcer about Graves being in the right place at the right time, to which the other announcer added, “He read it perfectly…This is so well played by Graves, it’s unreal.”

This was Graves’ second NHL goal in as many games. On Jan. 4, he had scored his first career NHL goal during a 6-1 win over the New York Rangers, which was the team that drafted Graves to the NHL in 2013.

Graves has been on the Avalanche roster filling in for an injured player. The Winnipeg game was his sixth NHL since making his debut on Dec. 27.

See Graves talk about the Jan. 8 game, his goal and on playing in the NHL in this postgame interview posted to Avalanche TV.
